The only person I've ever heard of was Lyle Alzado but it might have been AIDS.

MUSTANG_18 I thought I would get in on this little conversation. I think that steroids can be very beneficial to a person but saying that they are harmless or that they don't have any effect on your body is just plain ignorance. If used responsibly and in moderation then the sides can be minimized but if you go real heavy on the doses, eat poor and live an unhealthy lifestyle then it will catch up to you. I do not know anyone who has died directly from steroids but they can lead to other problems that may end up doing harm to your body.

Jeff_rys What about the Menzer brothers. Do you think it is normal for people do die before they reach the age of 50?

Ok, didn't mean to be so quick tempered..( no, not RR,,,I had 4 teeth pulled this afternoon ),,Pain Rage! lol

The most recent studies, which I've read but cant find right now, indicate, Especially in moderate doses, that test DECREASES the incidence of heart attacks, as well as helping osteoporosis, depression, numerous other things. The exception seems to be 17 alpha alkalated which are toxic to the liver.
But the guys that died would probably have Not died from the steroids, not that their dosages are good for you. It was the other drugs, and genetic considerations that did them in. Just look at the runner Jim Fixx,,,died at 43 or so, but his dad died in his 30's. An he never used. If you research the data, you'll find a surprising number of young men having, an sometimes dying, of heart disease, as well as kidney, liver, etc. None of us are immortal, but , from all the legitimate studies there is NO evidence of heart attacks caused by gear.

What makes me laugh my fucking ass of is that...

Viagra killed 15 mofo's the first week it was available...
Was it pulled of the market -- I think not... It didn't miss a day of marketing but only a warning... What a fucking joke!!!

It is because the same pussy motherfuckers who make the laws needed it to get their little old dicks hard...
GHB alone, maybe, and a big maybe, caused a single death in eight (8) years... And for gear or X, nuff said...

The little old man political limp dick fuck isn't about to do anything that won't allow him to fuck some young intern behind his old bitchy wife's back...

ONLY IN AMERICA!!!

Fuck the Politicians... They all can kiss my fucking ass... And the FDA and DEA...

pgerardone, what can't you understand about Don Long the poor guy had defective kidney's from birth. One didn't even fully develop. The other one was overworked as well as defective, so in this case steroids may have harmed genetically damaged kidneys. This has nothing to do with steroids in the general population. If roids are so dangerous why do the ill informed always refer to the same 4 or 5 names when tens of thousands of people in the USA alone use them daily. In the future please refrain from condecending toward me when you have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Good Day

I guess you believe everything you read. Of course they are going to make up some sort of excuse for his problem. I feel for the guy but I do not believe the genetic malfunction excuse. The guy used loads of juice. If you ever saw him in the offseason he carried around about 320 pounds on a maybe 5'10'' frame. I just do not believe that this had nothing to do with his kidney failure. I do not think steroids are dangerous if used normally. But the way the pros are throwing shit down is probably stupid and some are starting to have problems.

BULLSHIT

My mother just died a few weeks ago (memorial day to be exact) from liver failure at age 51, she never did roids. The fact is it was hemochromotosis which was diagnosed too late to save her. So, regarding the one comment, YES, people do die young. DOes that mean roids are harmless? Not likely, but at reasonable (ie non pro levels) I am betting they are just as safe if not safer than the other doctor prescribed drugs you will take throughout your lifetime.

 

[liftsiron]

Sorry to hear about your mother zyg.

How can anyone explain Robbie Robinson. He's been competing in BB shows his whole life, from Mr. O to Masters O. (Flex mag had pics of Robbie and Arnold training back in the day) Anyhow, Robbie still competes in the Masters O every year and I believe is heading towards 60 years old.

face facts gang .

its not steroid use thats the major killer but steroid abuse.

taking mega doses, of almost any medication long term is dangerous.

and what ever top class bbs and strength athletes r or were doing its seems to be killing them way out of proportion to whatever it is that top class soccer players of the same age r or were doing.
